At dawn, the wind and snow did not stop. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The entire Luoyang City was covered by a heavy snowfall, the weather was cold, and there were only a few people scattered on the streets of Luoyang City.
And at this moment, a fast horse suddenly galloped into the city from outside the city, and the fast horse galloped wildly in the street, and the wind and snow hit his face like a knife, but the man on the horse did not stop at all because of the cold snow.
The fast horse left hoof prints on the street, quickly turned a corner, and finally stopped in front of the Tang Mansion.
Immediately, the man flew down from the horse, knocking on the door almost frantically, the street was very quiet, the knock on the door was knocking, and after a while, the door creaked open, and the little maid in the house saw the person, and suddenly was shocked: "Horse guard, why are you outside?" ā
Ma Qing didn't say much, and asked as he walked towards the house, "Where is the little marquis?" ā
"The little marquis has just gotten up and is eating."
Ma Qing bowed his head, and then went directly to see Tang Zhou, Tang Zhou saw Ma Qing running in such a hurry, his expression was slightly condensed, and said, "How is it, that Shi Million really did it?" ā
Ma Qing nodded: "That's right, there was a person who sneaked into the vegetable garden last night, but that person was very good, and even his subordinates couldn't catch up with her." ā
Tang Zhou was slightly surprised, Ma Qing's light skills were the best he had ever seen, and there was actually a light skill in Luoyang City that was better than Ma Qing's, which had to surprise him, but he didn't think much about this question and asked, "Then does that person know that we have grown green vegetables?" ā
"I'm afraid I know."
Tang Zhou pondered for a moment, and then said: "As soon as the vegetables come out, Shi Million's gambling house will lose a lot, and he is afraid that he will lose all his money at that time." Speaking of this, Tang Zhou paused slightly and said, "He may escape." ā
Ma Qing's expression tightened, and he said, "Little Hou Ye, if that Shi million escapes, we won't be able to arrest him, so it's better to arrest him now." ā
Tang Zhou shook his head: "Shi Million does business by unscrupulous means, and there are a lot of lives on his hands, but we don't have definite evidence for this, we can't take him for the time being, since we are officials, we have to act according to the rules." ā
Ma Qing said: "But what if he really runs away?" ā
Tang Zhou smiled: "In this way, send someone to keep an eye on Shi Mansion, and then send an invitation to Shi Million, just say that I, Tang Zhou, thank him for his help when he destroyed the bandits in Fengmen Mountain, and invite him to come to the mansion for dinner." ā
As soon as Tang Zhou said this, Ma Qing immediately understood, they couldn't take out Shi Million now, but as long as he didn't leave Luoyang City, they didn't have to worry about not being able to bring Shi Million to justice in the end, and it was fake to invite Shi Million to dinner, and they wanted to make sure that he was still in Luoyang City.
And as long as Shi Million is still in Luoyang City, they are always keeping an eye on Shi Mansion, and he will have no chance to leave Luoyang City again.
After Ma Qing understood, he immediately took the order to retreat.
And not long after Ma Qing retreated, Di Zhixon suddenly came to visit in the snow.
Tang Zhou was a little surprised when he saw Di Zhixun suddenly come to the Tang Mansion, Di Zhixun has been very busy recently, eating and living in the Assassin Mansion, in such weather, how could he suddenly come to visit him?
"Master Di came to the house at this time, but what is the matter?"
Di Zhixun said: "Little Hou Ye, when the lower officials were retrying the prison case, they found a prisoner very strange. ā
There are all kinds of people in the prison, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are strange, so Tang Zhou didn't think much about it, but Di Zhixun came in the snow, if he behaved too coldly, it would inevitably hit Di Zhixun's enthusiasm, so Tang Zhou had to ask patiently: "Oh, how is the prisoner a strange law?" ā
"Little Hou Ye, the prisoner's background is unknown, and the reason for entering the prison is that he beat someone, but after the lower official is poor, he found that the prisoner and the beaten person have no grudges, and the lower official asked the prisoner to say why the adult, he just talked nonsense, and couldn't say a reason, the lower official felt strange, so he asked other prisoners in the same cell as him, and the other prisoners said that this prisoner usually doesn't talk to everyone much, and after the prison welfare was improved, he didn't see him excited."
After Di Zhixun finished speaking, Tang Zhou's brows condensed slightly, and said: "The prison is not a good place, normal people will not want to go to the prison, but listening to your description of that prisoner, he seems to want to go to the prison." ā
Di Zhixun nodded: "That's right, Xia Guan just thought it was strange, so he investigated more deeply, but the situation of that person before he entered the prison couldn't be found." ā
After listening to Di Zhixun's words, Tang Zhou suddenly became interested in such a person, so he asked, "What is this person's name?" ā
"Ah San."
A very common name, possibly a pseudonym, Tang Zhou thought for a while and said, "Let's go, let's go meet this Ah San for a while." ā
------------------------------------
Ah San has a dirty face, a moderate figure, and big and bright eyes, not like the kind of person who specializes in seeking death.
Tang Zhou glanced at him and asked, "Who are you?" ā
Ah San looked at Tang Zhou and said, "The prisoner who beat someone." ā
Tang Zhou's expression was slightly condensed, and he said: "You understand what Ben Hou means, so don't play word games with Ben Hou, Ben Hou will ask you again, who are you?" ā
The corners of Ah San's mouth twitched slightly, and then he turned his head not to look at Tang Zhou, and he didn't answer.
Di Zhixun saw this on the side and said, "Here is the little marquis, you had better explain truthfully." ā
After Di Zhixun finished speaking, Tang Zhou waved his hand: "Don't talk nonsense, use torture." ā
Tang Zhou suddenly let the torture be used, Di Zhixun was stunned for a moment, he has been an official for so long, and rarely uses torture, he feels that the abbot Tang Zhou compiled the "Collection of Grievances", which should also be against the use of torture, but now why do you disagree with each other, and you have to use torture?
However, Di Zhixun didn't know Tang Zhou's intentions, so he didn't dare to speak casually, so he had to stand aside, and at this time, there were already officials who brought the torture tools, there were many torture tools in this era, but there were not many of them, Tang Zhou glanced at it and said, "Go get a bucket of water." ā
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Tang Zhou meant, but they still received the order to fetch a bucket of water.
A large bucket of water was placed in the interrogation room, Tang Zhou stepped forward and put his hand in it to try it, and then felt like lightning and pulled it back, shaking his head lightly and saying, "It's so cold." ā
Tang Zhou's movements have psychologically given people a feeling of being cold into the skin, and when they heard Tang Zhou's sentence that it was so cold, everyone couldn't help but shiver, and thinking that it was cold winter at this time, and it was snowing heavily outside, everyone suddenly understood what Tang Zhou meant.
And at this time, Tang Zhou waved his hand: "Put this Ah San into the bucket, and then carry it to the snow outside, let's see if he becomes an ice sculpture or a snowman first." ā
Ice sculptures and snowmen sound very beautiful things, but at this time, when they came out of Tang Zhou's mouth, they had another meaning, Di Zhixun's heart tightened, as if he never expected Tang Zhou to come up with such a method of torturing people.
Compared with those punishments of the Tang Dynasty, this kind of method is difficult for the prisoner to bear, both psychologically and physically, just imagine, your body slowly becomes cold and stiff, what kind of experience will it be, what kind of feeling?
